# Cletus plugins
|
|
|
|
Build plugins for Cletus, the desktop AI assistant for engineering and
|
|
manufacturing teams, and publish them in the Eidonix plugin store.
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
- **Ready now:** the specification, the worker SDK (`sdk/pluginsdk`) and the
|
|
`cletus-plugin` tool, which creates a plugin, checks it the way the store
|
|
does and runs it under a test host. You can build and test a worker and
|
|
its chat tools today.
|
|
- **Later releases:**
|
|
- screens;
|
|
- more host services (AI models, vision, speech, camera and microphone,
|
|
saved connections, a secret store);
|
|
- loading your development build into Cletus itself;
|
|
- store submissions.
|
|
|
|
## What a plugin is
|
|
|
|
A plugin is a Go program (the **worker**) that adds chat tools Cletus's AI
|
|
can use, and services other plugins can call. Through the host it can:
|
|
|
|
- open and save files the user chooses;
|
|
- read and write the user's shared folders;
|
|
- start background Cletus runs over the user's files;
|
|
- connect to machines, databases and services the user sets up, or to
|
|
servers it names.
|
|
|
|
## Start here
|
|
|
|
If you work with a coding agent (Claude Code, Codex or similar), point it at
|
|
this repository and tell it what you want to build. `AGENTS.md` holds the
|
|
rules it must follow, and it reads the rest from there.
|
|
|
|
If you work by hand, read in this order:
|
|
|
|
1. `docs/specification.md`: the package, `plugin.json`, permissions, the
|
|
worker and services.
|
|
2. `docs/host-api.md`: every host method.
|
|
3. `docs/style-guide.md`: how Cletus plugins read and behave.
|
|
4. `docs/patterns.md`: how to build common kinds of plugin.
|
|
5. `docs/submission.md` and `docs/review-checklist.md`: how publishing will
|
|
work.
|
|
|
|
## Tools
|
|
|
|
Needs Go 1.24 or later.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
go install git.eidonix.com/eidonix/cletus-plugins/sdk/cmd/cletus-plugin@latest
|
|
|
|
cletus-plugin new acme.gauge-check # a working plugin from the template
|
|
cd gauge-check
|
|
cletus-plugin check # the store's automated checks
|
|
cletus-plugin run tools # list the chat tools
|
|
cletus-plugin run invoke gauge_check_count_lines '{"path":"sample.txt"}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`run` starts your worker under a test host that answers host calls the way
|
|
Cletus does, enforces your declared permissions, and prints every host call
|
|
your worker makes.
|
|
|
|
## Publishing
|
|
|
|
Plugins reach users only through the Eidonix plugin store, and Cletus
|
|
installs nothing else. You'll submit source code; Eidonix builds it, checks
|
|
it, reviews it and signs it. See `docs/submission.md`.
